Legal assistance, elder rights, and aging services professionals often work with older adults with limited English proficiency (LEP). At the intersection of their LEP status and older age, they often have unique legal needs and may face barriers to accessing services and supports, especially in a language they understand or prefer. Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, recipients of federal financial assistance cannot discriminate on the basis of national origin and must provide meaningful access to individuals with LEP. Legal assistance, aging services, and elder rights advocates should be well versed in these language access rights and how to utilize tools and strategies to help older adults with LEP access programs and services.
